That's good news. I'll try that. Using regsvr32.exe (per another person's
recommendation) didn't work -- the program emits an error code with (AFAIK)
no table of meanings available. I eventually installed the whole of Gimp;
that's _way_ more than I need! Not only that, (this is the weird part),
doing an 'import gtk' fails on the first try (complaining of missing _gtk),
but succeeds on the second try, even after gimp was installed. If I restart
idle, the same pattern occurs.

I'll try uninstalling Gimp, and use your installer.
I'll put the libglade DLLs in c:\windows\system along with the rest.
Hopefully that will work.

libglade is wonderful! A version compiled for Win9x is available via

Thanks for your help!
